The Employee Affairs Centre invites you to attend a two-day workshop entitled “Publish or Perish: How Not to Fight with a Journal Editorial Office”, which will be held on 21-22 May 2026 at the Doctoral Schools Centre of the University of Lodz, room 105, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The workshop will be led by Dr Justyna Małkuch-Świtalska (Science Trainer).
Publishing Without Helplessness
The aim of the workshop is to strengthen participants’ skills in scientific writing and cooperation with journal editorial offices – both from the perspective of an author and a reviewer. Participants will organise and deepen their knowledge of academic publishing while discussing the roles, opportunities and challenges connected with working on scientific texts.
The satirical game “Publish or Perish”, which uses humour to explore the mechanisms of academic publishing and allows participants to practise responding to situations familiar to many researchers will be an important part of the workshop.
Organisational Information
The workshop will be conducted in English – its full description can be found in the attachment below. Coffee, tea, refreshments and lunch will be provided.
